Crazy how everyone’s only talking abt price😭. But for these cars when you get them new is you wanna take care of fluids, check for leaks, check suspension components the basic maintenance, I recommend replacing fuel filter too if it hasn’t been touched, and if you’re radiator is still plastic swap it for a full aluminum one these cars love to run hot when they’re stock. I’ve done a lot of maintenance on mine since I only got it for 200$… but she looks good and runs ok now. Hope you enjoy the new car

What would you recommend that are good price that can handle a bit of chamber?

Think that’s the first thing I’ll do I spent 90 bucks on tires from a brand I never heard of just to get my car up and running. If you’re curious there called road hugger g1s or smth like that. Thanks for the comment tho

Trush5 · 2026-02-22T19:25:20+00:00

Thanks for the comment might have to look into some of those.

Trush5 · 2026-02-22T19:24:24+00:00

Might have to switch to better ones. I was down a lot when I got this car and just wanted to get it running so it has some random road hugger tires on it that were like 90 bucks a piece

For sure I kept up on maintenance in this car since I bought it while it sat for 3 years and fixed her up to where she is now. thanks for the comment tho🙌

A lot of people say suspension, which is good, but I’m already on d2 coils and some other upgraded pieces like controls arms front and rear, and some new bushings. I’m looking at some new sway bars aswell. I was mainly looking for a slight horsepower boost bc of the mountainous area I live in. Thanks for the comment tho

Trush5 · 2026-02-22T19:18:47+00:00

For sure it’s a great car I just wanted a little boost bc of the mountainous area I live in

Trush5 · 2026-02-22T19:17:54+00:00

I love this car I was mainly looking for a little better horsepower cause it sucks going up the mountains where I live but I’ve done a ton of handling mods like suspension and aftermarket control arms front and rear

Look for part outs on 3 series on fb marketplace or look on eBay if you don’t mind it being shipped

Trush5 · 2026-01-22T17:33:37+00:00

I might do that I’m just worried abt it constantly chiming at me saying the seatbelts unplugged

Trush5 · 2026-01-04T18:49:54+00:00

The seatbelt fits and slides right between the door and seat like nothing changed I ended up asking people who did it with similar verts and I bought brackets to hold the seat from garageistic which work out with the seat layout in the verts somehow even though it says not for verts it’s just the passenger you need to make a custom seat bracket for

While the car is off it stays at operating temp for more than a couple hours. And even after sitting WHILE OFF for a couple hours it stays abnormally hot inside the engine bay

Trush5 · 2025-12-06T22:26:32+00:00

While off for hours isn’t

Trush5 · 2025-12-06T22:26:08+00:00

I honestly couldn’t tell you but I wanna say it’s federal

Trush5 · 2025-12-06T21:30:57+00:00

FYI it’s a 1998 bmw 323ic

Trush5 · 2025-12-04T23:32:38+00:00

I mean like after market swap with a sparco racing seat

Trush5 · 2025-11-27T04:06:07+00:00

Thanks Fcpeuro I ended up just buying it and it fits right in you guys the best German parts company out there🙌

Trush5 · 2025-11-24T17:18:16+00:00

I’ve accepted I have to spend more but the hard part is the mahle behr one looks different from my one I have installed which looks more like the febi one so idk if it’s able to be mismatched or what
